4.0 out of 5 stars Underrated, June 24, 2003
This review is from: Necessary Roughness (Audio CD)
Lady of Rage is a great rapper. She can flow and freestyle as well or better than many more well know male and female artists. As mentioned in the other reviews, she was a victim of bad timing. Death Row was in its death throes and as a result this album wasn't marketed well at all. Also, the production was a little lacking a times. If Rage had come out with an album 1 and a half to 2 years earlier, she would have been far more successful. I dont know what she is doing now, but she deserves a proper chance.

5.0 out of 5 stars What happened to her music career?, August 23, 2004
This review is from: Necessary Roughness (Audio CD)
Robin Yvette Allen (Or The Lady Of Rage) has been in the Music business since Dr. Dre released "The Chronic" in 1992. This was her only album. She was one of my favorite female rappers. Where is she now? These days, I only see her on repeats of "The Steve Harvey Show" as Coretta (Thankfully, she is in the best of DVD). What happened to her music career? Did she just quit? She really needs to do another album. Rage, Please drop another album or as Snoop Dogg would say "Rage, would you please drop some Gangsta S***!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Another one of hiphop's elite, July 28, 2006
This review is from: Necessary Roughness (Audio CD)
If The Lady of Rage was promoted right this album might have did a little better than it did. I have a lot of respect for Lady of Rage for staying true to the hiphop culture when the game was populated with rap hookers and clones of rap hookers. Standout tracks: wickedness (original and remix), sho shot, microphone pon cok, rough,rugged and raw, big bad lady, some s--- and the rest of this album. Filler:none. The only flaw of this album is that sometimes her metaphors get repetitive but that doesnt make this album less of a classic. Rage deserves props for not stooping to the mindless raunchiness that made trina and khia famous. This is definetely a hiphop classic worth picking up.
